Re: Frankentruck
The last few that sparked my interest enough to take a picture. I sent the pics of the Firebirds to my dad, and he said that one of them would be a great Christmas present

Re: Frankentruck
Nice weather for a get together. I'd like to know more about the gold paint on the top have of that fleetside '64-'66 with the cowl hood. I want to do a graphic in silver (on my '75 stepside project) with a metal flake like you see on a boat, that gold looks to be about the right amount of flake!

Re: Frankentruck
It was a great time. I hope I'll be able to go to more shows in the spring when they start back up.
Karl, I'm not sure exactly what was done to create the bass boat look on that truck, but I was told there was several pounds of metal flake (I don't remember the exact number, maybe around 6 or so?) and 8 coats of clear

Re: Frankentruck
Congratulations on the degrees! That's quite an accomplishment after a lot of years of hard work; you must be feeling pretty great about it.

Re: Frankentruck
Today has been a vent window party. Removed all the door glass, cleaned and painted the part that connects the door glass to the regulator (I don't remember what it is called lol), removed the vent window glass from the frames, and cleaned out the old setting tape.
I'm using two sets of vent windows to make one good set. Hopefully I'll get it all done before the rain shows up later this week

Re: Frankentruck
Flat surfaces are the worst.
You asked about the mirror mount from my donor door. I also have the vent window parts if they'd be useful to you. Otherwise, maybe Andy could use them.

Re: Frankentruck
Thanks, but I'm all set on the vent windows. One set gave up good vent glass frames while the other set gave up the frame that the seal goes in

Re: Frankentruck
Good things come in green packages. So far, all the new seals are fitting nicely. I got these seals last Christmas and am just now getting around to installing them
![]() I should have gotten the correct rivets though. The cheapie ones I used were a pain, but they are functional. I should get my glass back from the glass shop tomorrow, and will hopefully be able to get it all back together tomorrow as well
